The driver applies her brakes until the child returns to the sidewalk and then accelerates to resume her original speed of 54 km/h; the acceleration record of the car is shown in the figure. Assuming 0x = when t 0,= determine (a) the time t1 at which the velocity is again 54 km/h, (b) the position of the car at that time, (c) the average velocity of the car during the interval 1 1s .t t≤ ≤ SOLUTION Given: At 0, 0, 54 km/h;t x v= = = For 1,t t= 54 km/hv = First note 54 km/h 15 m/s= (a) We have b av v= + (area under a t− curve from at to )bt Then at 2 s:t = 15 (1)(6) 9 m/sv = − = 4.5 s:t = 1 9 (2.5)(6) 1.5 m/s 2 v = − = 1:t t= 1 1 15 1.5 ( 4.5)(2) 2 t= + − or 1 18.00 st = (b) Using the above values of the velocities, the v t− curve is drawn as shown.
